Answer:

Any Australian animal that carries its baby in a pocket of skin (pouch) on the mother’s stomach.Marsupial, any of more than 250 species belonging to the infraclass Metatheria (sometimes called Marsupialia), a mammalian group characterized by premature birth and continued development of the newborn while attached to the nipples on the mother's lower belly.

330 species

There are over 330 species of marsupials. One line of thinking is that marsupial diversity is greater in Australia than in South America because there were no terrestrial placental mammals to compete with marsupials in ancient Australia. Kangaroos are the only large mammal to use hopping as their primary form of locomotion.
